We have so many homegrown Bacolod restaurants already but I think it’s monumental that GCash Scan to Pay system first partnered with Bob’s Restaurant, which is located at B.S. Aquino Drive, Bacolod City.

Bob’s Restaurant is among the pioneers in the Bacolod restaurant scene. They have served all-time favorite meals for more than 50 years now. The flavors are pretty much the same, even some of the oldest staff members are still there.

Restaurant Innovations

The acceptance of GCash at Bob’s Restaurant is just one of the new trends that the restaurant has adopted. Mr. Bobby Magalona of Bob’s Restaurant says that they are striving to keep innovating their food and services in order to keep up with the demands of the new generation.

Bob’s North Drive branch is the first to introduce the GCash Scan to Pay. Mr. Magalona says that they are looking at extending the service to other branches around Bacolod City.

What is GCash

GCash is a mobile money service that can be used to pay for goods and services. It is entirely cashless so it’s safe and secure. Globe Telecom President and CEO Ernest Cu said that having GCash is more secure than having cash. Even one loses his phone, GCash remains secure because to access it, there will be two PIN codes to bypass.

Since Bob’s Restaurant does not charge for service, customers may opt to give a separate tip for the waiters. Eventually, though, Mr. Cu said that they will add a “tip line” to allow for customers to give service tips using their GCash as well. “The app is updated every two weeks,” he says.

As of this writing, GCash is only accepted in the restaurant and not the pastry shop.

  1. This is very interesting, I have yet to use one of those apps like GCash that allow you to pay in a more secure way. It sounds like a good idea, but I would still need to look into it more before getting one of those apps. Thank you for sharing!
